The town of Donji Kukuruzari is located some 30 km south of Sisak. Just over 2,000 inhabitants live in 15 villages, around a hundred per village. The largest one is not the seat of administration (with 225 inh.) but is Donja Velešnja (350 inh). About 20% of the population are Serbs.
The village of Umetić is the birth place of Feldmarshal Svetozar Borojević von Bojna, the highest ranking Croat in the Austrian-Hungarian military, who was leading the Austrian-Hungarian forces in the First World War on the Italian front.
